Holmes: I need to get some air; we're going out tonight. Watson: Actually, I've got a date. Holmes: What? Watson: It's when two people who like each other go out and have fun... Homes: That's what I was suggesting.
Moffat: I’ve been online and looked at all the theories, and there’s one clue that everyone’s missed. It’s something that Sherlock did that was very out of character, but which nobody has picked up on.
Fandom: OMG, what?! *goes to rewatch*
Moffat: And now we wait.
Fandom: Was it the crying? Or that he shook hands with Jim?
Moffat: Dance, my puppets, dance.
Fandom: Maybe it was that he called John instead of texting? Or that he threw away his phone?
Moffat: Not telling.
Fandom: He made tea? He panicked? He was nice to Molly? He acknowledged having more than one friend? He played with a bouncy ball? He grabbed Jim by the collar? He didn't worry about Mrs. Hudson? He didn't examine Jim's corpse? He says he's not clever? He didn't solve the key puzzle correctly? He threw himself off a roof?
Moffat: I'm enjoying your suffering.
Fandom: What is it? Tell us! We will never figure it out because EVERYTHING SHERLOCK DID DURING THE ENTIRE EPISODE WAS COMPLETELY OUT OF CHARACTER. WE DIDN'T NOTICE BEFORE, BUT NOW THAT YOU'VE POINTED IT OUT WE FEEL IT WAS ALL VERY BADLY WRITTEN.
Thompson: Thanks for that, Steven. Thanks so very much.
